I am confused about creating tables on runtime…
suppose i register to one website, and upon successful registration i
want to create a table with my name like—
Neo_Message is the table that i would like to create as soon as i
press the button name REGISTER. I am using MYSQL as database…Please
help me… thank you…
So you want to create a messages table for the user neo? You know that
it
would be much easier to create one messages table for everybody and then
link that to a specific user by specifying a user_id field in there as
well
as a has_many :messages on the user model, right?

Yea, you don’t seem to understand relational databases and how data is
normally stored. Instead of having a new table for each user, you just
use foreign keys to mark that a particular record belongs to a user.
users table
– id
– name
– etc
messages table
– id
– user_id
– text
User model
has_many :messages
Message model
belongs_to :user
I don’t think you understand me.
I said to have ONE messages table for ALL users and inside that table
just
have a user_id field which references the user.
O… thanks after reading your first reply that thing was going on in
my mind… well now plans changed… will go your way…
